me and my dad in a ferrari 308

So many of my fondest childhood memories include watching Magnum P.I. with my Dad. He grew up with the show, and I’m just now getting into it. Here is a picture, about 14 years old, of me and my Dad in a Ferrari 308, just like the one Magnum drove in the show. Scribbled on our faces for privacy.

Riding in this car has to be one of my favorite memories ever!! Figured I might as well share it with this page. :,)

His naked upper lip should be blurred. It’s making me uncomfortable.

Looking for a specific episode

13 Upvotes

The episode in question actually has very little of magnum in it, it follows some other dude on the mainland who is a pilot, and it the end of the episode said dude is flying a P-51 mustang chasing down a private jet. Magnum only really is in the beginning and end of it I believe.

I updated the logo and header images for new Reddit

Hi. I just realized that that the users of new Reddit layout were unable to see the logo and header images of our community. I'm using old Reddit, so I don't see the new Reddit layout.

So I fixed it. Now you should see the logo and header.

Please, post feedback. Tell me if you can see the images.

Robin 3 / Forza Horizon

I made Robin 3 in Forza Horizon.

I don't know if the colour is right because one picture I found the car is quite light and the other it's quite dark.

I might change it to lighten it up a bit.

What do you think?

The crossover energy before Magnum even existed

Post image
282 Upvotes

Rewatching The Rockford Files always blows my mind because Tom Selleck basically test‑drives a proto‑Magnum years before Magnum, P.I. even existed. His character Lance White is the hilariously perfect PI — lucky, charming, effortlessly competent — dropped into Jim Rockford’s gritty world like he wandered in from a sunnier TV universe.

It’s wild seeing Selleck play a mythic version of what Magnum would later become. Lance has Magnum’s charm dialled up to absurd levels, zero flaws, and cosmic luck that makes Rockford want to retire on the spot.

For Magnum fans, it’s like watching an alternate timeline where Magnum is invincible, obliviously optimistic, and somehow even more charismatic.

Which version of Selleck do you prefer — the hyper‑lucky Lance White or the more human, grounded Thomas Magnum?

Anyone else buy a car with a targa top because of the show?

It’s not a Ferrari but when I first started watching the show a few years ago all I could think of was wanting to be like magnum and cruise around everywhere with a top off. Just curious if maybe anyone in here did the same or maybe even has a 308?

Magnum T-shirts

21 Upvotes

For the past year, I have been trying to find a really good T-shirt to buy so I can wear it and the only source that I have found is basically Amazon, but there are so many different choices that I don’t know what to choose from so I haven’t bought anything.

I like a very specific shirt (cotton blend ) and a very specific design and I still can’t make up my mind because there’s just a lot of conflicting information on Amazon so…
I am asking for any of y’all that has bought a magnum T-shirt on Amazon within the last six months which one did you buy and from what seller and what was your opinion on that shirt?

I’m completely open to going outside of Amazon if any of you have any websites that you can direct me to!?

Magnum P.I.'s Detroit Tigers Baseball Cap Explained

Thumbnail

121 Upvotes

While I don’t contest the fact Selleck was a legitimate Tigers fan, it always struck me as not in keeping with the Magnum character, Magnum is the son of a military father who dies in combat. His widow appears to raise Tom in the Chesapeake Bay area, where he attend the Naval Academy and plays football. All this would lead to the character wearing Navy apparel, Redskins, Orioles, or Braves (the baseball team of the South at the time). With all that, why the affinity for a baseball team from Detroit?
